A couple of hours ago someone I've known for many years sent me an email asking me to identify the original "The Twilight Zone" episode that included a particular plot element (I've been considered to be something of an expert on the original series from back when I held "Twilight Zone Film Festivals" at UCLA during early ARPANET/Internet days).
I immediately told him that the plot point he mentioned was *not* in any episode of that series.
He then asked ChatGPT the same question, and was thrilled when it immediately identified an episode and provided a synopsis. He then went and watching the episode. That plot point was not present. ChatGPT had simply invented it. Made it up. Lied.
